objtool: Remove redundant 'len' field from struct section

2021-10-05T19:03:21Z

The section structure already contains sh_size, so just remove the extra 'len' member that requires extra mirroring and potential confusion.

objtool: Improve reloc hash size guestimate

2021-06-14T12:05:36Z

Nathan reported that LLVM ThinLTO builds have a performance regression with commit 25cf0d8aa2a3 ("objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing"). Sami was quick to note that this is due to their use of -ffunction-sections. As a result the .text section is small and basing the number of relocs off of that no longer works. Instead have read_sections() compute the sum of all SHF_EXECINSTR sections and use that.

objtool: Decode jump_entry::key addend

2021-05-12T12:54:55Z

Teach objtool about the the low bits in the struct static_key pointer. That is, the low two bits of @key in: struct jump_entry { s32 code; s32 target; long key; } as found in the __jump_table section. Since @key has a relocation to the variable (to be resolved by the linker), the low two bits will be reflected in the relocation's addend. As such, find the reloc and store the addend, such that we can access these bits.

objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing

2021-05-12T12:54:50Z

Currently objtool has 5 hashtables and sizes them 16 or 20 bits depending on the --vmlinux argument. However, a single side doesn't really work well for the 5 tables, which among them, cover 3 different uses. Also, while vmlinux is larger, there is still a very wide difference between a defconfig and allyesconfig build, which again isn't optimally covered by a single size. Another aspect is the cost of elf_hash_init(), which for large tables dominates the runtime for small input files. It turns out that all it does it assign NULL, something that is required when using malloc(). However, when we allocate memory using mmap(), we're guaranteed to get zero filled pages. Therefore, rewrite the whole thing to: 1) use more dynamic sized tables, depending on the input file, 2) avoid the need for elf_hash_init() entirely by using mmap(). This speeds up a regular kernel build (100s to 98s for x86_64-defconfig), and potentially dramatically speeds up vmlinux processing.

objtool: Keep track of retpoline call sites

2021-04-02T10:45:27Z

Provide infrastructure for architectures to rewrite/augment compiler generated retpoline calls. Similar to what we do for static_call()s, keep track of the instructions that are retpoline calls. Use the same list_head, since a retpoline call cannot also be a static_call.
